I saw the post before about the sample rate being "fixed in hardware", but I'm curious as to exactly *how* this is fixed, and whether it's beyond all hope of modification without a complete hardware re-design. If it was possible to (say...) replace one chip and modify the client to drive it, or mount a small daughterboard, then I'd be interested - not sure how much the warranty's worth now the box has gone EOL.

Only Hugo or Patrick could answer this one authoritively I suspect. However changing the hardware is likely to be far harder than finding and implementing a better resampling algorythm in the software.
